Who is Going to Start the Bid?

It’s Saturday night, Ole Argo Auction night! This is the coolest place to hang out from 6P-10P. It is inside a 125 year old store beside the railroad tracks in Argo, Alabama. Some people might be leery of this leaning building with its tin roof, wooden floors (iffy at times) and the partly hanging door. Everything possible is auctioned off in this little abode. I purchased half of a deer antler for $1.00. Makes great jewelry!

Vendors from all over bring in treasures they have collected and everyone gets to bid! They auction off everything from half of a deer antler to a 100 year old paintings and furniture. It is a lively place to be and they have great homemade soups, chili, hotdogs, desserts and ice cream. There are many memories made, recovered and passed along at the Argo Auction on Saturday nights! It’s a happening place for all ages!
